One in Four Executives Say AI Errors Have Reached External Audiences or Boards, According to New Research From Workiva
Workiva released findings from its 2026 Midyear Executive Benchmark Survey, which found that although 84% of surveyed executives are at least somewhat confident in AI output without human review, 26% reported internal audits detecting AI errors that reached external audiences or board members, indicating a disconnect in executive confidence.
Why it matters — For Workiva watchers, the survey highlights a potential trust and accountability gap around AI accuracy that aligns with the company's positioning as an audit-ready platform for trust and transparency.
